When I was a kid, I thought I was destined to be an engineer. Learning I was colorblind and couldn’t complete the lab work changed my life: I shifted to data processing, studying both programming and operations at a technical school and then getting a crash course in cryptographics and high-speed secure networking while serving the United States in Asia, Europe and the U.S. Looking back I realize my entire career has been about building a foundation of knowledge-first in electrical engineering, computer programming and secure network operations, then in data analytics and leadership. Once I entered the business world, every move I made was an opportunity to challenge myself and learn. Hitachi and Electronic Data Systems gave me the chance in my 30s to lead and build what became Hitachi Data Systems. This was a defining moment in my career journey. My time as CEO with Netigy allowed me to focus my experience on a very early stage start-up, bringing together all the skills and market knowledge I had accumulated and competing in a very fast-moving and dynamic market. Later, as President and Chief Operating Officer at Cisco, I recognized that the best companies drive growth by analyzing data, thinking long-term and embracing change. My passion now is to share what I’ve learned-advising, mentoring and making connections with the current and next generation of entrepreneurs, helping them: • navigate complex, highly technical settings • make data-driven decisions to foster growth • understand cyber security and how to glean the most from networks and data Away from the business and nonprofit world, you'll likely find me walking the beach in Carmel, fishing for salmon, trout and anything else that happens onto my line. Specialties include: transformational strategy | cyber security | executive leadership
